This study suggests that by supplying anesthesia providers with smaller quantities of opioid pain medication for use during surgery less pain medication is used both during and after surgery without a resultant increase in a patient's pain score or the amount of time they need to stay in the postoperative recovery area. As a result, some of the negative side effects associated with opioid pain medications may be diminished.
